Obtaining the public IP of a computer...

I am looking for ideas/suggestion on how, in live code, to obtain the public IP address of the computer a LiveCode standalone is running on. hostName() returns the name of the computer. hostNameToAddress(hostName()) return the IP address, such as 192.168.1.104, but (as in this case) if the syst

Thanks Richard. Despite what I said in my earlier email about Thiery's fix for the snapback, you are correct that it doesn't fix it. Somehow or other, the snapback occasionally doesn't happen, at least in my stack, but most of the time it does. I think I'll just live with it until 4.6. I've
